How funny would it be if Atlanta jumps up and lands CP3. LOL! Doc has no assurances that CP3 is resigning in NY or if the KG trade goes down. I'm sure one or both will but it would be hilarious if Doc got neither KG or CP3.

About time. I wanted a 2014 pick too. Oh well, this will do. U guys bring up and intersting point about kg, you would think we have all the leverage now. As doc as head coach, is there anyway kg doesnt go to clippers? If so we could ask for the moon!!! Plus the added bonus of sticking it to sterling!!!!

the fact that the celts and clips completed the deal for doc, despite the NBA posturing that it might not allow the KG deal, is proof in and of itself that the doc deal was not contingent on a KG deal. i don't think the league can block the deal, but we'll see.

let's wait and see. the reason i don't think stern can't block a fair trade for KG is this: if he does, he's essentially setting the precedent that team A can make a trade with team B, but if team A then turns around and makes a second trade with team B, then they can't do it and it will be blocked by the league. that reeks of a lawsuit IMO. as i said, we'll see.

Exactly!

It's part of a draft day trade. Stern can assume all he wants...they are totally separate deals.

kaktug, that is not exactly what happened. What happened was team A and B proposed a trade that was illegal based on the rule, then Stern publicly said he will not allow the trade even if they change it around to try to circumvent the rule. So team A and B change it around exactly or almost exactly the way Stern was warning and then Stern is going to let it stand?

yes if we trade say bass and lee...yes the trade will happen...but in real life they already know KG is linked to rivers...so KG will not be going to L.A.

If Ainge is absolutely, positively sure that the trade cannot happen with KG then he totally fleece the CLippers because they will be in the lottery in 2015 with Griffin, CP3. We know the Lakers aren't trading Howard to the Clips.

LOL! Tell the Clippers we want DJ and Bledsoe for KG. If they say no, KG will retire and we send PP to the Cavs. We are in a even stronger position than before because they still want KG...or at least we know Doc desperately does.

I would love to get DJ and Bledsoe and 2 #2s for PP. You talk about a quick overhaul...man we'd shock some people next year.

I am with you ,except I think we can get the #19 pick from Cleveland for Pierce.

stern has to maintain the appearance of control. the rule is that one trade cannot be contingent opon another. there is no proof or evidence that one of these trades was contingent upon the other. in fact, it's now been proven that that is not the case, since they made one of the trades even in the face of stern's threat that he won't approve the KG trade. i think stern is posturing. but we'll see. you guys could very well be right. but i tend to think i'm right on this one. we'll see.
